New documentary celebrates the legacy of legendary UW football coach

Don James had a legendary career coaching the Huskies from 1975 to 1992

SEATTLE — Don James made an impact on college football that the organization still feels to this day. A new documentary recounts his legendary career and his broad effect on all of college football. Director Kent Loomer visits New Day Northwest to talk about the project. 

James's coaching went beyond football as he taught his players to give back to their communities and the importance of not only being good players but good people as well. He also mentored some of the biggest names in college football today including Nick Saban. 

The documentary will follow James's beginnings from small-town Ohio all the way to the bright lights of Husky stadium. "The Dawgfather: The Legacy of Don James" is set to premiere next fall.
